Forge Road closed for sinkhole work

Forge Road in Palmyra will be closed from Oak Street through Elm Street probably through Wednesday as contractors try to stabilize a sinkhole under the pavement that has caused a dip in the road and worried residents who fear it will open.

The borough has hired Compaction Grouting Services to insert grout under the road to stabilize the sinkhole, according to borough manager Sherry Capello. The dip will remain until PennDOT repaves the road in the spring, she said. The borough is also planning to install a stormwater system to divert runoff to a nearby inlet.

Access to Forge Road Elementary School is limited during the work, but parents and buses will be allowed into the horseshoe in front of the school at pickup and dropoff times, Capello said.
